BACKGROUND
Brass and folk go together so well that it's amazing it's been done so rarely - 2 bands (Brass Monkey and The Home Service) and the three tracks here are pretty much it. Far and away the best track on Steeleye's much too commercial 'All Around My Hat' album is the 'Cadgwith Anthem' with it's gentle hint of Cornish silver bands at the end. From the sublime.....To the late Paul Giovanni's arrangement of 'Willie o'Winsbury' from the soundtrack of the film 'The Wicker Man' - outrageous and brilliant. Bridging the gap, Robin Dransfield's wonderful 'Spencer the Rover'.
